T HE ELEVENTH H0 UR
When Katherine threw open the
shutters that morning a flood of yel»
low sunlight greeted her, and the
subtle fragrance of many flowers
laden with dcw. ,
It was certainly a fine morning, yct
Katherine, Nature’s disciple though
she was, felt thht for all its beauty it
still lacked something which cannot
be defined in more words and is only
obvious to the senses through the
heart. .
She had felt it before her ~cycs un-
closed on her pillow. before she was
fairly awake, and before memory and
reality had come back to her. Now,
as she looked gravely out across ilxc
~ garden and the river and the Music:-
ing roofs beyond, she wondered vague-
ly if Jack's going away had OCL'il-
sioncd this gnawing rosilcssucss and
dissatisfaction with which she sccmcd
to view all things past, present and fo-
turc. '
She would miss Jack—miss his rare.
sweet smile, his restful voicc. his
pleasant ways.
Never since their earliest childhood
had they been separated longer than n.
few months at a time. He had always
been her friend, her comrade. Having;
no brothers of her own, he had stood
to her rather in.,thc light of this rela-
tion. It had never occurred to he; that
Jack might regard her with other than
brotherly affection. Tlicrcforo. when
he one day asked her suddenly to
marry him, and had told her how
necessary she was to his happiness.
she had been startled, at first. then
quite inclined to treat the matter as a
iokc. _
It was a long time befOre she could
understand that he was terribly in
earnest. Grievcd beyond expression,
she had told him frankly that she
could not marry him because she (lid
not think she cared for him as she
ought to care for the man she married.
And Jack, putting all thought of self
out of the question, forcborc to press
his suit further, and begged that in
the future she should regard him 02;-
;Lcily as she had done in the past.
But this was impossible. Each felt
a restraint in the presence of the other
that it was useless to try,to conceal.
lack felt that he. could not go on see-
ing her daily, knowing that she was
not for him, so the evening before the
morning on which my story opens he
had come to tell her that he was going
sway—mad been sent‘ as staff corre‘
spondent to Japan, and that it was
quite possible they might not meet
gain for yoai's. He himself had
known it for some time, but somehow
he could not bear to tell her until the
lost. He should leave the city on the
morrow. His steamer sailed the day
after. And Katherine could say
nothing except towish him God-speed
might to keep the tears out of her eyes
1nd voice. '_
As she turned from the window her
glance fell upon his photograph,
framed and standing on her dressing-
table. She took it up and looked at it
Eng eyes, the firm chin, the tender,
mouth—there was no trace of weak—
ness or irresolution in them all. '
She put the photograph suddenly.
lown as a great wave of dull, aching
loneliness swept over her. .
An hour later she surprised her fam-
ly by appearing at the breakfast table
gowned and bonneted for a journey.
“I am going to spend the day with
Aunt Patience,” she explained, smil-
ing. “I have neglected her quite too
long."
Aunt'Patience was really not aunt
:0 Katherine at all, but one of those
lelightful old ladies to whom people
ire always anxious to claim relation-
ship. She lived in the country, hardly
:wenty miles distant, with her brother,
who. like herself, had never married.
“’hcn Katherine alighted at the
country station of Brightwood the
summer day was already well ad-
vanced, and she lost no time in setting
out for her destination. As
walked along the shady lane and felt
:he crisp grass beneath her feet and
smelled the fresh. sweet odor blown
from wood and field, her heart light-
ened curiously.
Aunt Patience had seen her coming
up the little path that led from the
gate. and met her at the door with a
kiss and a hearty welcome.
lcar child, how bonny you are!
[low the sight of you gladdens my old
eyes! I‘ve been grieving this long
while lost my doary should forget me
inning all of her ‘ine friends.”
“As if I could ever do that!" Kath-
u'inc rrplicd. with moistened eyes.
“Well. well—come in. This is a right
lovful day for me to have both my
precious children again—”
"Both!“ echoed Katherine,
.7l'le‘. 3
They had crossed the little entry and
were entering the best room. A tall
figure came forward from the window
with hands outstretched.
" l'cll. Katherine!” Jack said,
'.ng down at her with happy eyes.
It was quite a moment before she
found her voice sufficiently to speak.
“Why. how is this? I thought you
were guizri away to-day!”

sorry that l'm here?” he asked pres-
ently. :n: Aunt Patience left the room
for an :r;-:t.~iul. ‘
"Sorry! How could I be that?” And
Katherine's eyes met his frankly.
He turned away with a quick drawn
breath.
“Ah, Katherine. Katherine!” he said
reproachfully. “Your words mean so
much and'your eyes «so little."

Aunt Patience would have none of
{athcrine‘s proffered assistance in the
preparation of the noonday meal.
"No. no, child! ’Tis little enough you
know about such things. You would
only soil your pretty hands. and be-
sides. you must talk to Jack. It may
be a weary long day ere you see each
other again.”
At the stroke of noon she came out
up n the porch, where the two were
scaled. .
“The dinner horn!” cried Katherine,
clapping her hands gleefully.
"’l‘oot—toot—to-o—‘tl” Katherine blow
with a will
“Ah, I knew the minute I hecrd the
horn it warn’t I‘atience'a blowing of
it!" the little, bcnt, kindly—eyed man
said, as he took Katherine’s soft
hands in his hard brown ones. “How
air yo. Katherine? But I needn‘t to
ask. You‘re as pretty and sweet as
one of l’aiicncc‘s pinks there. And
John, too—well, well!"
Uncle Dan was quite
with surprise and delight.
“So you‘re going to Japan. eh? Ain't
that a rather sudden move for ye? I’ll
wager you‘ll wish yourself back in-
side of three days of your landing.”
"I’ve no doubt of it, sir,” Jack on-
swcrcd, looking anywhere but at
Katherine, who sat opposite him at
the small round table.
"Very foolish in him, is it not

was possible under the circum-
stances. ’
“These boys—these

what's the matter with Katherine,
John?"
Katherine flushed hotly.
“(isn‘t agree, Uncle Dan." she
laughed;~ 5
“Speak “for yourself, Katherine,"
Jack said in a low direct tonc.
Jack's train left at five, and in the
course of the afternoon he coaxed
Katherine to visit with him those
scenes in which they had a common
and vcrv tender interest. There was
one spot especially—a place by the
brook where a willow droopcd its
graceful boughs almost to the Surface
of the restless, sparkling water. The
willow had beer! a tender sapling in
the days when they played at house-
keeping beneath its branches.
Katherine sat down on the soft
turf and drew her hand lingeringly
through the clear, cool water. Ro-
collection lent a sweet gravity to her
fair face, and Jack. watching her
with his whole tender, aching heart
in his eyes, thought he had pever
seen her look so lovely.
“Do. you suppose, Katherine,” he
asked at last in an odd, low voice,
“that you will ever come here after I
am gone?” ‘
( She was silent.
“I should like to know that you
would,” he went on wistfully, “for old
times’ sake, if for nothing more.”
She rose suddenly to her feet. flirt-
ing the drops of water from her hand
with a little, impatient movement. In
the light that sifted through the
quivering green leaves she looked
quite pale.
Jack caught her by the shoulders.
“Tell me Katherine,” he cried pas-
sionately. “shall you?”
She swung loose from him. laughing
a little—faintly.
“Shall I—come, do you mean? Oh,
yes, I suppose so! I never visit Aunt
Patience without strolling down here,
you know. I like the water and the
willow and the—quiet.”
Jack set. his teeth hard, and turn-
ing, began to walk silently at her
side back across the green meadow.
i In the distance the whistle of an
approaching train sounded shrilly. He
stopped with a dismayed exclama-
tion.
“It can’t be possible—but yes, it is—
it is my train!" He glanced at his
watch. “We lingered too long under
the willow, Katherine. I shall have
barely time to bid Aunt Pfiticncc
good-bye now.”
Katherine put her hand to her
throat. Her lips moved vainly in an
effort to speak. Then a low sob burst
from them.
“Katherine, my dear, my dear, do
you really care like this? 'But I must
go—thei'e’s my train!”
He pressed her hands hard. ’l‘hcn
f a sudden her voice came back to
fiber. She cried out pitéously—

THE 'lNDlAN >V‘v’AY OF DRIVlNG.
And the Strange Uses to Which They Put
the Gifts Sent Them by Government.
Commenting on the attempt made by
the Government in 1807 to civilize the
prairio Indians by supplying them
with the garb and food of the white
man, Colonel Bob Dodge, of Dodge
City, says: “The authorities sent the
Indians thousands of sacks of flour;
pantaloons in abundance, and a big
lot of stiff-rimmed hats bound around
the edge with tin or German silver to
hold the rim in shape. They also
sent them a few light-running ambu-
lances. The savages, to show their
erprcciation of these magnanlmous
gifts from the ‘Grcat Father,’ threw
the flour on the prairie in order to get
the sacks for breech clouts. They
cut out the seats of the pantaloons, and
they cut the crowns off the hats and
used them as playthings, shying them
in the air, like a white boy does a flat
stone, to see them sail away.
“The ambulances they were proud
of. The Government neglected to
send any harness with them, so the In-
dians manufactured their own. They
did not understand anything about
lines, and, instead, they drove'wlth a
quirt, or short whip; when the near
horse would go too much ‘gee,’ they
whipped up the-off horse, and when
he would, go to much ‘haw’, they
pounded away at the near horse again,
and so vice versa all the time.
This unique manner of driving kept
the poor animals in a dread run most
of the time. I remember taking a ride
with Little Raved, chief of the Ara-
pnhoes. At first we started off gent-
ly, but his ponies did not go straight,
so he kept tapping them, now the off
horse, then the near, until finally he
- got them on a rapid gallop, and I
thought at one time my head would
surely pop up through the roof of the
ambulance. The country was very
level, fortunately, or I don’t know
what would have been the outcome.”

The Black Bees of Tasmania.
A naturalist,rccently traveling in a
little-known part of Tasmania, came
upon a group of eucalyptus trees 260
feet to 390 feet in height, and one
measuring over 40 feet in diameter at
the base.
High up the trunks of these enor-
mous trees were some curious-looking
swellings on the bark, which at first
puzzled the explorer, but soon were
ascertained to be the nest of a small,
black wild bee of quite a new variety.
The naturalist had one. of the smaller
tree's cut down, and secured a large
amount of honey of a deep orange
color, having the curious flavor of the
eucalyptus.
The honey is poisonous in large
quantities; but is said to be most valk-
uable medicinally, reducing the weight
and improving the breathing of very
stout people.
Unfortunately, all efforts to domcsii
cafe this insect have so far failed.—

' Anecdote of President L'in'cdlh.‘
A lieutenant, whom debts compelled
to, leave his fatherland and service
succeeded in being admitted to the
late President Lincoln, and, by reason
of his commendable and winning de-
portmont and intelligent appearance,
was promised a lieutenant’s commis-
sion in a cavalry regiment. He was
so enrapturcd with his success that be
deemed it a duty to inform the Presi-
dent that he belonged to one of the
oldest noble houses in Germany. “0,
never mind that,” said Mr. Lincoln;

The Owl's Foot.
The construction of the owl’s foot is
peculiar. Unlike the well-known foot
of the parrot, which has two toes in
front and two behind, and that of the
eagle—pr a more familiar example—
the, common sparrow, it has one too be-
hind and three in front; but the first
of these is capable of much lateral
motion, while the fourth or outer too
is reversible, and when the bird
perches is turned backward, so that
the bird sits on its perch with the two
middle toes in front and the two outer
ones behind.

The X-Rays in Court. ‘
The X rays have made their appear:
once in court in France. A Mar-
seilles merchant was run over in the
|street and had his clavicle broken. He
sued for large damages, which the
owner of the wagon sought to reduce
by alleging that the bone had knitto‘
gether again and the results of the ac-
cident were therefore not serious.‘
The plaintiff. however, produced in
court a radiograph of his thorax,
which showed that the fractured bone
had not been reunited, notwithstand-
ing outward symptoms to the contra-
ry, and that an incurable injury was
the result. The court was convinced
by this novel testimony, and awarded
damages as claimed—New York Trib-

one of the Representatives from that
State, “people have a very strong ob-

in one of the rural districts, having oc‘

When. two days had passed and no re—

There is no danger of an exhaustion

world‘s yearly production of gold is
now about $210,000,000, double the ag-

greater than that produced in any oth-
er year in the world’s history. Prior
to the present year’s vast output of
gold, the greatest product was in the
